This species resembles H. greeni generally, agreeing espe- 
cially in the form of the elytra, but the punctulation is 
stronger, the colour deeper, the sides of the abdomen are acute 
and carinulate in the male, and the penultimate ventral seg- 
ment a and the forceps of the male asymmetrical. 
m EH. penicillata it differs in the smaller size, denser 
and odainb punctulation, darker colour, and broader penulti- 
mate ventral segment, without tufts wh oheyte 
Fa 
and in fungi. He 
notes that they mate about the end of aie: and that the 
eggs lie in a heap.
